Battlers always say they had a "classic" for promotion. It can be a dumb tactic, because you are raising the viewers expectations, so they're more likely to be disappointed with the end product if it doesn't match the hype, and they're annoyed because they feel like they've been lied to and tricked into watching a wack video.

I think people often under-sell Arsonal's performances, so to hear that he gave Verb as good as he got means that he must've been impressive. How incredible is Arsonal's resume gonna look if he pulled off a win in St. Louis!?
